Microsoft's streaming service Beam has been re-named - it's now called Mixer.
The Twitch-rival is also getting two new features: co-streaming for multiple people to broadcast on a single channel, and mobile support to stream while on the move.
"If you're playing with your friends you can bring all of those streams together on one channel page," Mixer boss Matt Salsamendi told Eurogamer in an interview.
"Your viewers can watch all those perspectives together and switch between them, too."
All of this will be baked into the Xbox One user interface just as the service is currently.
"You hit the guide button, launch the app. You'll also be able to invite someone to co-stream with you, they get a little toast notification and can join in," Salsamendi explained. "And it works across platform, so on Windows, mobile you have ways to co-steam."
